Custom Wedding and Engagement Keepsakes
Turning your wedding varmala and engagement memories into timeless art. Each piece is handmade, slow-made, and designed to hold the stories of your special day.
This custom varmala frame tells the story of a beautiful Jain-Bihari union. I incorporated photos from all their ceremonies, along with sacred symbols and elements from both cultures, to create a truly personal piece of art.

A closer look at the details. I included the Jain symbol and earrings from the bride's trousseau, making this varmala preservation frame a deeply personal and meaningful keepsake of their wedding story.
On the other side, I incorporated the Om symbol to represent the Bihari heritage, along with pieces from the Haldi ceremony bangles. Every element in this custom resin frame has a special meaning.
Here you can see the preserved varmala flowers and the intricate 'Kagera' from the bride's attire. It's these small, personal details that make each wedding keepsake I create so unique and cherished.
This was the largest and most challenging frame I've ever made, and I couldn't be prouder. It was an honor to be trusted with preserving the varmala and wedding memories for this wonderful couple.
Here I am with the finished piece. It was so heavy I could barely lift it, but seeing it complete was worth all the effort. This is what I love to do: turn your memories into lasting art.
The final touches are always the most satisfying. Here, I'm carefully finishing a large custom varmala frame, a labor of love that took many days to complete. Stay tuned for the big reveal.
The magic of transformation. I took a beautiful but delicate wedding varmala and turned it into a sturdy, timeless 10-inch teakwood frame that will preserve those memories for a lifetime.
Did you know you can preserve your wedding invitation card along with your varmala? This custom resin frame is a beautiful way to keep two of your most important wedding mementos together.
About Wedding & Engagement Keepsakes
The most important thing to know is that preserving flowers is a slow process. The silica gel dehydration alone takes 7 to 14 days to ensure the petals stay vibrant and do not rot inside the resin. I never rush this stage. If you are planning to send me your varmala or wedding bouquet, please reach out as soon as the wedding ends, ideally within 48 hours, so we can start the drying process before the flowers lose their natural shape.
When you choose to preserve your wedding flowers with me, you are not just getting a resin frame; you are getting a piece of your history that I have carefully crafted by hand.
Why the Process Matters
Because I work alone, I treat every order as a collaborative project. Whether it is a traditional varmala frame or a modern engagement ring platter, the process starts with you sharing the story behind the pieces. Some clients send me just the flowers, while others include wedding cards, jewelry, or photos of the ceremonies. Every added item changes how I design the layout.
Customization Options
I work with various bases, from 10 to 12 inch teakwood frames to custom-shaped resin platters. We can discuss:
- Floral Preservation: How to incorporate your specific varmala or bouquet into a square, hexagon, or 3D letter block.
- Layout & Aesthetics: Whether you prefer a minimalist look with just the flowers or a detailed piece featuring photos, dates, and cultural symbols.
- Personalization: Adding names in gold vinyl or incorporating sentimental trinkets like kaleeras or invitation cards.
Caring for Your Keepsake
Resin is durable, but it thrives on care. I use high-quality, high-gloss epoxy, but keep your piece away from direct, harsh sunlight for long periods to maintain the integrity of the pressed flowers. If you have questions about whether your specific wedding mementos can be preserved, just send me a message. I am always happy to look at the flowers and tell you what is possible.
